The Importance of Breathable Sleepwear for a Good Night's Sleep

Sleepwear can have an enormous effect on your quality of rest. Tight clothing, elastic that is too tight and bras can trap body heat as well as irritating substances like dead skin cells and microorganisms that may disrupt restful slumber.

Sleepwear designed to keep you cool should be made of breathable fabrics like cotton, silk and linen. Furthermore, wick-away moisture-wicking technology should also help keep you dry at night if night sweats are an issue for you.
Comfort

Comfort should always come first when selecting sleepwear, so select soft, flexible nightgowns or pajamas that won't pinch, pull, chafe and cause skin irritation, thus helping ensure restful slumber.

Adaptive fabrics designed to both cool down when your body heats up or warm you when feeling cold are effective solutions for managing hot flashes, night sweats or other temperature-related conditions. Bamboo-derived viscose is an breathable fabric which works particularly well in hot sleepers as well as menopause symptoms.

Silk is another breathable fabric known to regulate body temperature while feeling comfortable against your skin, providing an ideal sleeping option for hot sleepers or women experiencing menopause symptoms. Latuza's V-neck pajama set from Latuza provides stylish yet comfortable sleepwear designed specifically to help regulate temperature while remaining lightweight for reduced overheating while lab testing showed it to be extremely durable and machine washable for easy maintenance.
Breathability

Breathability refers to the ability of fabric to absorb moisture and then release it back out, helping prevent bacteria or overheating that could otherwise cause discomfort. Athletes who engage in sweat-inducing activities like jogging, hiking and cycling tend to favor materials with this quality as do those looking for cooler sleeping surfaces like mattresses duvet covers and mattress sheets with breathability properties for this very reason.

A randomized cross-over study was undertaken to compare the effects of wool, cotton and polyester sleepwear on WBSER and various sleep parameters such as SOL, TST, REM, N1, N2 and N3; as well as self-rated sleep quality using PSQI questionnaire. Results demonstrated significant interactions among sleepwear fiber type, BMI age and PSQI scores as well as significant main effects for wool on SOL as well as BMI on N3% AI levels.
Temperature Control

Maintaining an ideal temperature throughout the night is critical to enjoying a restful slumber. Overheating can disrupt quality sleep and cause discomfort; for this reason it is recommended that perspire-prone individuals choose fabrics which allow skin breathability in order to stay cool and dry throughout their restful night's rest.

An 11-factor linear mixed model including sleepwear fiber type (cotton, polyester or wool), age and PSQI was used to test for main and interaction effects on WBSER and various sleep variables:

Figure 1A illustrates significant interactions between Sleepwear and Age/PSQI for WASO and REM sleep latency, and old age participants. Old age participants fell asleep 12 mins faster in wool compared with polyester or cotton fabrics due to thermal insulation and moisture management properties in these textiles; suggesting it may be an attractive solution for older adults with trouble sleeping habits.
Allergens

At night, your body sheds dead skin cells that could harbor allergens and bacteria; wearing fresh, breathable pajamas is one way to keep this from occurring.

Select sleepwear made of natural fabrics like silk or cotton that is soft on sensitive skin conditions such as dermatitis and psoriasis, such as silk. women pajama tend to stay cooler and more breathable than synthetic options that trap heat and moisture that could potentially lead to discomfort as well as allergies or reactions in some individuals.

Cotton, linen and bamboo materials provide your body with the ability to release sweat while also wicking away moisture - ideal materials for those prone to night sweats who live in humid climates. Their lightweight yet soft touch fabric can be found both shorts and long-sleeved camisoles - or try natural cooling eucalyptus fibers which naturally cool while moisture-wicking too; perfect if you have sensitive skin/eczema/other sensitivities as an added layer in winter!
